What is this?

Certainly not a blog for any serious social commentary; enough excellent one’s out there. For those who need to understand the Marlinspike reference go here on the Wikipedia. Since many of us are Tintin fans this seemed to be an appropriate name for our chit-chat den. A random sampling of ‘us’ includes (and is CERTAINLY not limited to) — abhi, ratna, sameetah, kanishka, anjou, IG, sion, teni, shaila, somak, bugger etc., people with whom i often have email threads running.

I hope that people contribute and keep this afloat. Guest bloggers solicited.
